Published by Dramatists Play Service
8 Male 2 Female
A blood-splattered body lies on the living room carpet
By the end of this exploration of our culture of violence, eleven characters have either been killed, sent to prison or gone mad
And yet despite all this murder and mayhem All the Rage is a comedy!
The action takes place in unnamed city today, in a series of scenes that show the interconnected lives of ten characters
Among them are an estranged husband and wife, a gay couple, a criminal and his underage sister/lover, an eccentric millionaire and his former personal secretary turned video store owner
And they all come in contact and set a chain of violent events in motion
This modern-day Jacobean Revenge Tragedy gives us a picture of a world spinning out of control where everybody has a gun and is ready to use it ...
